Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jacob T. Painter, Professor in Pharmacy Practice at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focuses on pharmacological interventions and patient outcomes, particularly concerning pain management and substance use. His work includes investigations into risk factors and clinical outcomes associated with blood culture contamination and the review of nephrotoxicity risks associated with acyclovir in pediatric patients. He has examined the use of gabapentinoids and opioids in older breast cancer survivors with neuropathic pain, and the potential for opioid-induced respiratory depression.

Dr. Painter's research also addresses care models designed to improve pain management while reducing opioid reliance among patients on long-term opioid therapy. He has explored the role of buprenorphine in managing pain and opioid use in this patient population. Additionally, his research interests extend to the psychological well-being of patients, including studies on depression and diabetes distress in individuals with diabetes.
